Ive naturally got almost black hair, but really pale skin
And for a whole I've been wanting dark ashy blonde hair, kind of like drew barrymore's colour, with some high lights and low lights and darker roots

I'm scared to go in for it incase I really don't suit it so I wanted opinions first

You could ask your hairdresser what they think, they'll probably have some idea about what colour would suit you. My natural hair colour is light brown and I have pale skin and blue eyes, and I know blonde hair wouldn't suit me at all, I suit darker colours for some reason.

Tbh, I don't think blonde would suit you. Like parry said, you'll look a bit 'washed out'.
People can sometimes look better with a hair colour that is not their natural one, but you should not go all the way to the opposite. I'm naturally a blonde and I know I would never suit your hair colour.
If you want a change, or something a bit 'softer' and less gothic, you're better off going for a medium brown and then add highlights of several beige tones.
You'll have to go to a very good hairdresser and have them use many colours (for the best result) and it will most likely be very expensive but I think you'll look great with it.

try a wig first? if you're still at school and have access to the drama dept then you could borrow a wig and look in the mirror? there aren't many ways to try it out. You could do a one-day wash-in-wash-out thing, but I'm not sure it would work effectively on your hair colour. DIY dyes always seem a bit dodgy. But I'm a guy, I have no idea what I'm talking about.
